Pizzeria Lui

Since Zach Parini opened the low-key, no-frills Pizzeria Lui in 2017, it’s gained a lot of loyal fans. While trying to keep up with the increased demand for takeout during the pandemic, Parini made the tough choice to swap out his wood-fired oven – in which he could only make four pies at a time […]

Lechuga’s Italian Restaurant

They don’t make them like they used to – but Lechuga’s marches on anyway, an old-school Italian joint where you can order pasta by the bucket and square pizzas (with green-chile strips, like a true Denverite!). This second, (much) newer outpost is located in Lakewood, though the original Lechuga’s is one of the last red-sauce […]

There you’ll find a big steel smoker on a trailer that’s stained in streaked shades of bronze from smoke and fat. A recent expansion gives loyal customers a place […]

Stack Subs

Stack gets its name from the precise layering of ingredients that gives each bite the same blend of ingredients. Sandwiches are built on oven-crisped breads — white, wheat, gluten-free or pretzel roll — and feature classic deli combos, like the house favorite Italian, stacked with Genoa salami, mortadella, pepperoni, hot capicola and provolone, as well […]

Fiddlesticks

Situated in a strip mall on the corner of Jewell Avenue and Kipling Parkway, Fiddlesticks is a no-frills sports dive with plenty of TVs, a couple of pool tables, fairly cheap drinks, and a menu that includes a decent selection of bar food like burgers, wings and appetizers. Although Fiddlesticks gets its share of regulars […]
